During wedding planning I have come across some items that I consider “fun finds” – in other words, these items don’t really fall into the category of “necessities” but I’m so glad I wont have to live without them (well, some of them).

First up, a Flower Wand from Maihar Design. Our flower girl will have a basket with petals for the ceremony, but for pictures (and for fun) she’ll carry one of these beautiful flower wands.

Next up, a personalized hanger from LilaFrances. Perfect for the infamous dress shot, and a special keepsake that will last long after the wedding.

She recently began offering personalized lengths of wire that you could add to the base of a wooden hanger – if you have a heavier gown this may be the way to go.

And last, but certainly not least – this adorable Wedding Cake Bank by Juicy Couture on Zappos – this I’m afraid is one “fun find” I’ll have to live without since I didn’t discover it until about 9 months into our engagement. It seemed a little frivolous at that point, but seriously, what a cute and fun way to save money for the wedding. Certainly an adorable gift option for the newly engaged!
